Wow! Just wow! I reallly liked THG but I don't remember anything from the books and I haven't watched the movies in like 10 years. Therefore I got into this book basically blind, which I think allowed me to enjoy it better. I didn't get any reference and I kept wondering if I would recognise any last name, but no. I knew he becomes later President Snow and yet I found myself rooting for him a few times, and then thinking, "no this cannot be".
The inner monologue is horrible. How set he is in his ways, how he looks down on absolutely everyone, everythin is a mean to an end. Such an interesting study of the mind, the obsession with the past, status, control, etc.
The pacing... it is not a plot driven book, definitely. The beginning, at the arena was fine, then it got quite slow to almost boring and at the end too many things happened in like 3 chapters.
I liked it a lot, and I will be thinking about the end for a few days.
